1 Pointers vs. Arrays 1
2 Array Values are Contiguous Right next to each other in memory int vec[6] int m [4][3]; vec[0] vec[1] vec[2] vec[3] vec[4] vec[5] m[0][0] m[0][1] m[0][2] m[1][0] m[1][1] m[1][2] m[2][0] m[2][1] m[2][2] m[3][0] m[3][1] m[3][2] 2
3 Example Array in Memory char name[8]= Thomas ; printf( name is at %p\n,&name[0]); name is at 0x34ffe0 name x00 x04 x1c x02 x54 x68 x6f x6d x61 x73 x00 x00 x96 x00 x30 x04 x0034 ffe x0034 ffe0 xffff fffd xffff fffe xffff 3 ffff
4 Pointer to Array in Memory char name[8]= Thomas ; char *np=&name[0]; printf( np is %p\n,np); np is 0x34ffe0 name *np x00 x04 x1c x02 x54 x68 x6f x6d x61 x73 x00 x00 x96 x00 x30 x04 x0034 ffe x0034 ffe0 xffff fffd xffff fffe xffff 4 ffff
5 What are we Pointing At? char name[8]= Thomas ; char *np=&name[0]; printf( np -> %c\n,(*np)); Question: Does np point to a single character? np -> T name np x00 x04 x1c x02 x54 x68 x6f x6d x61 x73 x00 x00 x96 x00 x30 x04 x0034 ffe x0034 ffe0 xffff fffd xffff fffe xffff 5 ffff
6 Pointers are just numbers char name[8]= Thomas ; char *np=&name[0]; printf( np=%x np+1=%x np+2=%x,np,np+1,np+2); np=x34ffeo np+1=x34ffe1 np+2=x34ffe2 name np x00 x04 x1c x02 x54 x68 x6f x6d x61 x73 x00 x00 x96 x00 x30 x04 x0034 ffe x0034 ffe0 xffff fffd xffff fffe xffff 6 ffff
7 What are we Pointing At? char name[8]= Thomas ; char *np=&name[0]; printf( np ->%c-%c-%c \n,*np,*(np+1),*(np+2)); np -> T-h-o name np Question: Does np point to a single character? Or an array of characters? x00 x04 x1c x02 x54 x68 x6f x6d x61 x73 x00 x00 x96 x00 x30 x04 x0034 ffe x0034 ffe0 xffff fffd xffff fffe xffff 7 ffff
8 What is a string? A string is just a vector of ASCII characters Followed by a null terminator a byte with the value 0x00 char str[14]= This a string ; { T, h, i, s,, a,, s, t, r, i, n, g, x00} Index ASCII T h i s a s t r i n g Hex x54 x68 x69 x73 x20 x61 x20 x73 x74 x72 x69 x6e x67 x00 8
9 What are we Pointing At? char name[8]= Thomas ; char *np=&name[0]; printf( np ->%s\n,np); np -> Thomas Question: Does np point to a single character? Or an array of characters? Or a string? name np x00 x04 x1c x02 x54 x68 x6f x6d x61 x73 x00 x00 x96 x00 x30 x04 x0034 ffe x0034 ffe0 xffff fffd xffff fffe xffff 9 ffff
10 A Pointer points to one or more elements of a specific type (Actually, zero or more, but who s counting) 10
11 Integer Vector in Memory int v[4]={11,12,13,14}; Vector v[0] v[1] v[2] v[3] Value x B x C x D x E Address x00 c x00 c x00 c0 00 1c x00 c int *vp=&v[0]; // vp=x00c printf( vp-> %d %d %d \n,*vp,*(vp+1),*(vp+2)); vp->
12 Pointer Arithmetic In C, if we add 1 to a pointer, that means, point to the next element If char * ptr points to a character, then ptr+1 points to the next character If int * iptr points to an integer, then iptr+1 points to the next integer If float *aptr[4] points to an array of 4 floats, then aptr+1 points to the next array of 4 floats. 12
13 Pointer Arithmetic In order to make this work, C uses funny arithmetic on pointers If char * ptr points to a character, printf( char@ %x, next char@ %x\n,ptr,ptr+1); prints: char@ 34ffe0 next 34ffe1 If int * iptr points to an integer, printf( %x next %x\n,iptr,iptr+1); prints: c00014 next c00018 If float *aptr[4] points to an array of 4 floats, printf( %x next %x\n,aptr,aptr+1); prints: a461a20 next a461a30 13
14 Pointer Arithmetic At first, this seems well just weird But soon it becomes clear this is VERY powerful! vec[3] == *(vec+3) // No matter what type elements are!
15 2D Arrays in Memory int m[4][3]={11,12,13,21,22,23,31,32,33,41,42,43}; m[0][0] m[0][1] m[0][2] m[1][0] m[1][1] m[1][2] m[2][0] m[2][1] m[2][2] m[3][0] m[3][1] m[3][2] c c c0 001c c c c c0 002c c c c c0 003c c int *mp=&m[0][0]; // mp=x00c printf( mp-> %d %d %d \n,*mp,*(mp+1),*(mp+2)); printf( row 3: %d %d %d\n,*(mp+6),*(mp+7),*(mp+8)); mp-> row 3:
16 What is an un-sub-scripted Array? char name[8]= Thomas ; printf( name[0] is at %p\n,&name[0]); printf( name value is %x\n,name); name[0] is at 0x23cb10 name value is 23cb10 16
17 array == &array[0] 17
18 What is a String? char name[8]= Thomas ; printf( name[0] is at %p\n,&name[0]); printf( name value is %x\n,name); printf( name string is %s\n,name); name[0] is at 0x23cb10 name value is 23cb10 name string is Thomas 18
19 A string is a pointer to zero or more characters with a null terminator 19
20 What is a String? char *name= Thomas ; printf( name[0] is at %p\n,&name[0]); printf( name value is %x\n,name); printf( name string is %s\n,name); name[0] is at 0x23cb10 name value is 23cb10 name string is Thomas 20
21 In C, Pointers and Arrays are Virtually Interchangeable! 21
22 Array vs. Pointer Notation Array &array[0] array[i] Pointer array *(array+i) 22
23 strlen implementations Using array notation int strlen(char str[]) { } int i=0; while(str[i]!=x00) i++; return i; Using pointer notation int strlen(char *str) { } int i=0; while((*str)!=0) { } return i; i++; str++; 23
24 Pointers and Memory When you declare an int or array of ints, the compiler reserves memory for that int or array of ints in the invocation record When you declare a pointer to an int or array of ints, the compiler reserves memory for the POINTER, but does NOT reserve memory for the actual data being pointed to! Typical C bug: int char* name; strcpy(name, Tom Bartenstein ); Segmentation Violation
25 Initialized Pointers In some cases, it looks like pointers ARE reserving memory char * name = Tom Bartenstein ; In this case, the compiler is creating a LITERAL value in memory Possibly read only memory Possibly re-used with other instances of Tom Bartenstein in this code The name variable is a pointer to the LITERAL value May get segmentation violation if written to May get bizarre future errors if compiler re-used this literal
26 Void Pointers void * myptr; // myptr is a pointer to void myptr is a pointer, but I m not going to tell you what it points at Before you use myptr, you must cast it as a pointer to something printf( myptr points to %c\n,*(char *)myptr); void * used as a universal pointer a pointer to any type of data Programmer must know what type of data it s pointing at to cast correctly 26
27 Matrix vs. Array of Arrays A matrix is a two-dimensional list of elements in which all values are contiguous in memory in row-major order An array of arrays is a list of elements in which each element is a pointer to another list of elements
28 Matrix char arr[3][2]={"ab","cd","ef"}; arr[1] arr[1][0] arr[1][1] arr[2] arr[0][1] arr[2][0] arr[0][0] arr[2][1] arr[0] arr x00 x04 x1c x02 x61 x62 x63 x64 x65 x66 x00 x00 0 xffff cc12 xffff cc13 xffff cc14 28
29 Array of Arrays char *vec[3]={"ghijk","lm","nopqr"}; vec[0] vec[1] vec[2] vec[0][0] vec[0][1] vec[1][0] vec[1][1] vec x00 x x x x67 x68 x69 x6a x6b x00 x6c x6d x00 0 xffff cbf0 xffff cbf8 xffff cc00 x x
30 Or another visualization char arr[3][2]={"ab","cd","ef"}; char *vec[3]={"ghijk","lm","nopqr"}; arr a b c d e f vec x x x g h I j k \0 l m \0 n o p q r \0
